Rakdos Charm as Sideboard?

I was recently wondering the effectiveness of Rakdos Charm against Splinter Twin / Kiki-Jiki decks. Would it be viable to place in the sideboard expecting such decks to face?
It's good against twin... and dredge... and storm... and affinity... and pod... and jund (less so with the banning of deathrite, but still wrecks dem goyfs), so yeah, it's pretty good sideboard tech.

If you are in the right colours, run it in your sideboard. It is very effective against a lot of top tier decks, and can easily tilt games in your favour.

Rakdos Charm is a great sideboard card against Pod Decks. it's utility is great but if you wanna screw pod look to Batwing Brume . All the screw plus fog, also doesn't hit you so if your in the redzone no worries.

Yep, it's great against Splinter Twins, Pod, Affinity, Dredge, Zombies and Living End :)

It's also good against Pod because it disrupts both the pod itself and Persist triggers.
Rakdos Charm is a great sideboard card for Modern. At least against Twin, though, they usually combo off while holding protection, so your charm might not even resolve. That, and if they know you're running the charm they just won't make enough dudes to kill themselves.
It's still quite good, though.
